Radio Controlled Watermelon

Publicado el 16/12/2012 This radio controlled watermelon consists of parts from a radio controlled aeroplane and a hollowed out watermelon. The propeller direction has been reversed to push the melon. Steering is achieved using a single servo and some modified mechanics. Unfortunately the melon later tipped over and the electronics burned out from getting wet. Plumes of smoke came billowing out of the motor speed controller and the battery swelled up. A video of the autopsy will be posted at a later date. Article on the RC melon: http://startingelectronics.com/articles/radio-controlled-watermelon/
